The Pork Chop is a raw cut of pork sold at butcher counters. It lowers hunger by 30 once cooked and is a common fresh meat in towns. It weighs 0.3.

A pork chop must be cooked before eating, since raw pork can make a character sick. Cooked, it is a solid meal on its own. It also goes into soups, stews, stir fries, pies, burgers and salads.

Fresh meat spoils fast. A Pork Chop stays fresh for 2 days and is rotten by day 4. Butcher shops and supermarket meat counters hold them most of the time. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.

Eating

A cooked Pork Chop lowers hunger by 30. It holds 150 calories, with 25 grams of protein and 6 grams of fat. That protein makes it a good food for keeping strength up.

Raw pork is dangerous. Eating it uncooked risks food poisoning. A Pork Chop is better hot and worse cold, so it is best eaten right after cooking.

The full Pork loin lowers hunger by 60 and holds 300 calories, exactly double a chop. Rabbit Meat lowers hunger by the same 30 but holds far more calories at 969. A Redear Sunfish lowers hunger by 15, half as much as a chop.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

A Pork Chop cooks in 50 minutes and burns at 70. An oven, a barbecue or a fire cooks it well. A microwave is a poor choice for it.

Pork Chops go into Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta, adding 15 hunger to each. Once cooked, a chop can also go into a Burger or a Salad for 10 hunger, or a Sandwich for 5. Adding a chop to a pot of soup or stew turns it into a hearty meal. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.

These dishes take the Pork Chop as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage

A Pork Chop stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts, and a freezer slows them far more. Many chops are already found in freezers, which keeps them good longer.

Locations

Pork Chops are a very common find in shops that sell meat. Butcher display cases at butcher shops, Gigamart and grocery stores hold them about four times in five. Restaurant display cases give the same odds.

Western and Chinese restaurant kitchens keep them in freezers, fridges and on counters. Barbecue stores, cafeterias and diners stock them too. Some turn up already on a stove in a kitchen or survivor safehouse. Barbecues outside houses hold one about one time in five.
